The fundamental energetic limit of computation is established by Landauer’s Principle, which dictates a lower bound of heat generation for every bit of information erased (Landauer, 1961). While modern Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) has achieved significant success in symbolic rule induction (Muggleton, 1991; Cropper & Morel, 2021), current frameworks remain thermodynamically blind; they optimise for symbolic accuracy while treating physical energy cost as an externality. In the post-Moore era (Theis & Wong, 2017), we argue that a logically valid program that is thermodynamically insolvent is fundamentally incorrect for deployment in energy-constrained sovereign environments. This paper introduces Thermodynamic Inductive Synthesis (TIS), a closed-loop framework that integrates physical entropy production directly into the logic generation process. We present the Fine-Grained Reconfigurable Thermodynamic Substrate (FGRTS), a hardware architecture capable of measuring transient Localised Entropy Production Rate (LEPR) at the gate-cluster level. These measurements serve as a feedback signal for a Gradient-Based Inductive Synthesiser (GBIS), which extends differentiable relaxation techniques (Jang et al., 2017; Petersen et al., 2021) to penalise irreversible state changes. We analytically derive that TIS-generated primitives are projected to reduce irreversible entropy production by approximately 40% compared to standard synthesis baselines, theoretically predicting the spontaneous emergence of quasi-adiabatic logic topologies similar to those predicted by conservative logic theory (Fredkin & Toffoli, 1982).
